Two girls who went missing during a game of hide and seek in eastern Ontario have been located in good health after spending the night in the woods.

A canine unit, emergency response team, and OPP helicopter had joined in the search for the girls, who are 9 and 11, after they went missing Monday night from a campground on Airds Lake Road in Greater Madawaska.

The girls, who are cousins, had been playing with other children at a family cottage but they never returned. A group of adults set out to look for the pair.

Family friend Jenell Rosenblath said friends and family members searched using four-wheelers and flashlights.
